"G.D.F.R." (abbreviation for Goin' Down for Real) is a song by American rappers Flo Rida and Sage the Gemini from Flo Rida's 2015 EP My House. It was released as the album's lead single on August 21, 2014 in the United States. The song was written by Flo Rida, Sage the Gemini and P-Lo and produced by DJ Frank E and Andrew Cedar, with co-production from Lookas and Miles Beard.

The song was a sleeper hit, peaking at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 2015, making it Flo Rida's tenth top-ten single on the chart. Moreover, the song sold over one million copies domestically. Internationally, it peaked within the top ten of the charts in nine countries, including Denmark, Germany, Norway and the United Kingdom. In the latter country, "G.D.F.R." topped the country's R&B chart.

The song uses instrumental samples from Lookas' remix of "Low Rider" by War, namely in its hook. Some listeners incorrectly believe that the song is played with an oboe, however, the song is played with a saxophone by Clay Pritchard. Flo Rida has stated that he shortened the title to G.D.F.R. to remind the listener of graffiti.

The official music video was released on December 24, 2014. The set revolves around Flo Rida as a basketball coach with professional dancers who double as basketball players (team Strong Arm vs. team Mad Dog). Team Strong Arm comes back in the end and wins by 3 points. Miami Heat power forward Udonis Haslem, Natalie La Rose, and Gorilla Zoe makes an appearance. During parts of the video the on screen score displays the incorrect initials G.F.D.R.

A remix by DJ Noodles appears in both the film Furious 7 (during the Abu Dhabi party scene), and on its soundtrack. The track is also played in other films such as Hotel Transylvania 2, Deadpool, and Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates. It also served as one of the theme songs of SummerSlam 2014. The track is also featured in the television shows Telenovela, Superstore and The Real O'Neals.
